After securing their Premier League return, Leeds United chief executive&nbsp;Angus&nbsp;Kinnear&nbsp;has revealed the club have already begun working on their recruitment for next season.&nbsp; "We know we need to strengthen. Targets have been identified. We're working on them already, we're working on them now - today it's started in earnest. And&nbsp;that recruitment is going to be the biggest challenge because the window is so short," Kinnear said.&nbsp; "With the TV money being fairly evenly spread other than the performance related element, it means we immediately have a competitive advantage if we can harness that&nbsp;fanbase&nbsp;and use those resources to compete in the transfer market. "I think next year the team will go out every week and play swashbuckling, attacking football, will show absolutely no fear, will show no team any respect. We're not going to be scared and I think we'll give Leeds supporters another year they can be proud of."

We need the same as Jamal Lewis or Ben Godfrey or all other other players. "We need to keep them [unless] there is such a stupid offer that you can improve the squad with that money.&nbsp; "I am quite confident that we can keep our best players and also if we do this we have a great chance to be really competitive next season."
